Outlook’s broken—Let’s fix it

by srcmax
Microsoft has confirmed they plan on using the Word rendering engine to display HTML emails in Outlook 2010. This means for the next 5 years your email designs will need tables for layout, have no support for CSS like float and position, no background images and lots more. Want proof? Here’s the same email in Outlook 2000 & 2010.

The Real iPhone 1.0 | Monday Note

by night.kame

That is why I call the latest release 1.0, the complete one, with a tip of the hat to the engineers who, in less than two years, moved the OS from a painfully trimmed down port of OS X to a tiny ARM platform, creating a polished new user interface in the process. And giving birth to a new applications ecosystem, an unforeseen outgrowth of the iTunes platform.

Et encore, il manque la possibilité aux applications tierces de s'exécuter en tâche de fond. Même EPOC proposait le mutlitâche.

Golden Boots sur MySpace Music - Ecoute gratuite de MP3, Photos et clips vidéos

by Krome & 1 other
Golden Boots is an alt-alt country band from the American Southwest- home to open spaces, Roy Rogers, and the hydrogen bomb. Born seven years ago, despite pleas to preserve the health of the mother, Golden Boots has managed to win over the jaded and faded from Tucson to France. Their warped and fractured mixture of psychedelic rock, folk and country has drawn comparisons to Alex Chilton, The International Submarine Band, Beck, and the Monkees. The first four years can be summed...

Coke Wisdom O’Neal - mixed greens - The Box

by sbrothier
Over the last 10 years, I have learned my trade and developed my vision without traditional training. Photography has been both passion and paycheck. I learned 
the technical arts of film, chemistry and printing through the good fortune of 
working among photographers, artists, and intellectuals. My travels, both 
domestic and abroad, have given me knowledge of the world and the passion to document it. Recently, my work has expanded to include not only the final photograph, but the interactions with my subjects

Vim Recipes - Free cookbook for the Vim text editor

by Yann_L (via)
disponible au format pdf, html, bzip, zip "This book is written to be consulted when you're looking for a better way to perform a task. It does not replace Vim's excellent built-in documentation, but complements it by focussing on tasks rather than commands. It will always be incomplete by virtue of Vim having more features and extensions than I have years alive, but will hopefully still serve as an indispensable reference. In addition to being free, this book is open source. The files from which it is compiled are freely available, for you to examine and, hopefully, improve."

AfriGadget » Blog Archive » Distilling water from volcanic steam vents

by karlcow

There seemed to be an ownership structure amongst the users, some were better constructed, had longer pipes, were better protected and maintained. We were told that the systems were installed fifteen years earlier and it did not look like any modifications had been done since then.

Mannahatta » Home

by jeanruaud (via)
Ever wondered what New York like before it was a city? Welcome to Mannahatta, 1609. Now, after nearly a decade of research, the Mannahatta Project at the Wildlife Conservation Society has un-covered the original ecology of Manhattan. That's right, the center of one of the world's largest and most built-up cities was once a natural landscape of hills, valleys, forests, fields, freshwater wetlands, salt marshes, beaches, springs, ponds and streams, supporting a rich and abundant community of wildlife and sustaining people for perhaps 5000 years before Europeans arrived on the scene in 1609

Trails of EasyExtend » Blog Archive » Guido is my problem - Projects and projections

by greut

Our software is as brittle as 15-20 years ago. Reusable objects and framework superstructures have failed. UML has failed. Even design pattern have failed as they turned out to be more idiomatic than universal. What’s left are lightweight programming languages which let us glue things together. Some are user friendly and don’t suck badly. That’s still the best we have.

Inspiration: 100+ years of Architectural progress that occurred in Chicago since the great fire of 1871 that have consequently surrounds us in today's Architecture. Ever since I can remember, I have always been fascinated by the iconic Chicago Skyline. This later inspired me to explore Architecture in hopes of one day becoming an Architect. My only time away from that inspiring Chicago Skyline was during my college years when I received my Professional Degree in Architecture with an emphasis on the Philosophy of Design Theory at Kansas State University in 1996.

Lawyer: RIAA must pay back all $100M it has collected - Ars Technica

by ericpaul (via)
Lawyer: RIAA must pay back all $100M it has collected Harvard Law professor Charles Nesson has now gotten involved in two more file-sharing lawsuits, including the Jammie Thomas retrial in Minnesota. But it's in the other, lesser-known case, that Nesson and a former student demand the RIAA pay back all $100 million it has collected in settlement money over the years.

Privacy Diffusion on the Web: A Longitudinal Perspective | Semantic Web Dog Food

by karlcow

or the last few years we have studied the diffusion of private information about users as they visit various Web sites triggering data gathering aggregation by third parties. This paper reports on our longitudinal study consisting of multiple snapshots of our examination of such diffusion over four years. We examine the various technical ways by which third-party aggregators acquire data and the depth of userrelated information acquired. We study techniques for protecting against this privacy diffusion as well as limitations of such techniques. We introduce the concept of secondary privacy damage. Our results show increasing aggregation of user-related data by a steadily decreasing number of entities. A handful of companies are able to track users' movement across almost all of the popular Web sites. Virtually all the protection techniques have significant limitations highlighting the seriousness of the problem and the need for alternate solutions.

Today, every two Brazilian workers, one is informal, show the research. To raise issues relevant to this phenomenon, this reportage searched for a specific group of informal workers: itinerant traders operating in the metropolitan region mills of Sao Paulo.

A Daily Dose of Architecture: Unpacking My Library

by karlcow

The exhibition takes its name from an essay by Walter Benjamin, who writes about the memories sparked by the act of unpacking his collection of books after having them stored in boxes for two years. While Benjamin speaks as a collector and looks at books as objects tied to their owner, these architects will be speaking about the ideas found in the books and the influence on their own work. As someone who reads voraciously, I'm most interested by the recommendations, something that also occurs at the Storefront for Art and Architecture's curated micro-bookshop. Hopefully MAS will provide more online content for the exhibition, such as these lists, as it should be interesting to see any overlap between architects (if any) and to discover some lesser-known gems.

*thankful for the last couple of days that have felt squarely like spring in seattle. doors open. windows open. bliss. *thankful for the word proud. *and for long conversations with my husband about what really matters, about how we can do better, about how we love well, about making plans to celebrate 10 years. *thankful for old friends reaching out to reconnect

This is Broken - Seth Godin

A video from a few years back, but still relevant -- why so many things are still "broken".

Storefront for Art and Architecture |

by karlcow

Through plans, sections, diagrams, charts and scale drawings,

49 cities are observed statistically and presented in an unprecedented comparative study, the result of a research project conducted over

several years. Despite the fact that they never actually existed, this history of utopian urbanism provides a remarkable insight into our

understanding of the contemporary metropolis.

Online many places get a new layer of reality. Fictional or not.
